Discover Mount Barker: Promo Tour

Did you know that Mount Barker was once a leading producer and exporter of apples in Western Australia? And that the Mount Barker Wine Region was one of the first to be established in our state?

Mount Barker is a place that is often passed by, and yet this vibrant town has played a vital role in the growth and development of the Great Southern region. It is a place known for it’s rich agricultural history, burgeoning art scene and renowned wine and food. It’s also an important home to the Minang Noongar “white cockatoo” people.
